Knowing your neighborhood comes natural for Ray and Poynor Properties Realtor Betsy Dreher. She has lived in Birmingham her entire life and is familiar with what each community offers its residents. You could also say that real estate is in her DNA.
“My father was a commercial Realtor, and I started working for him when I was in college,” Betsy said.
After bringing up her children, Betsy returned to real estate to further pursue her passion for helping others.
“When my next-door neighbor, Wilmer Poynor, started Ray and Poynor Properties with Henry Ray, it was an easy decision to move my license to Ray and Poynor,” she said.
Betsy often works from referrals with her unique ability to create happy homeowners and lead from generation to generation.
“I have several families that I've worked with both parents and children,” she said. “It's very special to see the satisfaction of one generation leading to business from the other. Occasionally I get a grandparent, parent, then an adult child. It's the personal touch that makes the difference.”
Betsy extends her personal touch to other areas of her life and work, supporting community efforts, spending time with her five grandchildren, and helping buyers and sellers find their perfect house to call home.
“I believe each house has a perfect buyer,” Betsy said. “Sometimes it takes a long time to find the right home, and sometimes we only look at a few. Real estate is like working a fine puzzle — finding the right fit.”
